Kenner #2 is a head and half of a body. The face is in nice condition. She has some stains and missing some of her bottom lip paint, but in a way I think it makes her more interesting. She is missing her original pull chord unlike my first Kenner.
Other than the replacement pull chord, it's pretty apparent that she has been opened at one time. There are pry marks where the face plates meet and some cracking where the hard cap inserts in the plates. Took me forever to get the hard cap off. I had to do some trimming of plastic and glue.
The hair is horrendous. It is very matted and plugs are missing. I've worked out some of the matting only to find that the scalp is ripped at the thatch line. I soaked it for over 48 hours in fabric softener. As of right now, I'm going to store it and decide if I want to do something with it later. As of right now, I plan to order a wig from Sleeping Elf. I am, again, too lazy to make one myself. Since going full time I have precious little free time.
some of the missing plugs can be seen
She is now on an alter Licca body. I used the bolt method with epoxy to secure it in the neck hole. It works! After applying the epoxy I had to file it down to make the right fit. The body color matches the face also.
Awaiting her new hair!
